I Love to Tell the Story

​1    I love to tell the story
    of unseen things above,
    of Jesus and his glory,
    of Jesus and his love.
    I love to tell the story,
    because I know it's true;
    it satisfies my longings
    as nothing else would do.


Refrain
    I love to tell the story;
    'twill be my theme in glory
    to tell the old, old story
    of Jesus and his love.


2    I love to tell the story:
    how pleasant to repeat
    what seems, each time I tell it,
    more wonderfully sweet!
    I love to tell the story,
    for some have never heard
    the message of salvation
    from God's own holy word.  Refrain


3    I love to tell the story,
    for those who know it best
    seem hungering and thirsting
    to hear it like the rest.
    And when, in scenes of glory,
    I sing the new, new song,
    I'll sing the old, old story
    that I have loved so long.  Refrain
